Landmark Award Rules and Entry Instructions
- The Landmark Award recognizes a built project completed 15-50 years
ago that has become an integral part of the fabric of its community,
contributed significantly to the public realm, and exhibits the inherent
qualities of a landmark such as educational research and study, critical
acknowledgement or public acclaim, recognition, and enjoyment.
- Nominations may be submitted by the original designer, on behalf
of the original designer, or by any individual, firm, or organization
in the community.
Entry Instructions
- All submission materials must fit into the official entry binder
provided by ASLA. The binder contains 24 views in 8.5” x 11”
format. The jury will not consider any items that are oversized or behind
other items. Additional material not included in the binder views will
be discarded.

architect and owner, as appropriate and relevant in the descriptive
data and supporting materials. The nominator, however, should only be

credit when using photos, but will not assume responsibility for any
copyrights or photography fees.
